Recently two reports were launched in Cambodia that lay out the challenges and opportunities for higher growth and more and better jobs in Cambodia.
The reports are the product of an 18-month partnership between the International Labour Organization ( ILO) and the Cambodian Federation of Employers and Business Associations (CAMFEBA) and utilize new and innovative ILO methodologies that combined a nationwide and cross-sectorial survey of both Cambodian firms and workers with a comprehensive analysis of existing reports and data. This innovative approach of combining primary and secondary data, worker and firm-level perspectives, along with international benchmarks has helped generate a comprehensive and consolidated review of the key challenges facing the Cambodian economy today, along with practical and actionable recommendations.
The ILO report “The Enabling Environment for Sustainable Enterprises (EESE) in Cambodia” provides the evidence base (downloadable above), while the CAMFEBA report, “Pathways to Prosperity: Policy priorities to create an enabling environment for sustainable enterprise development & creation in Cambodia” (downloadable on the right hand side)is predicated on the analysis from the EESE report and focuses on policy recommendations in four key areas; workplace relations, skills, governance, and the legal and regulatory environment.
In this respect the ILO also introduced a new reporting format, in form of a six pager with key findings (downloadable on the right hand side).
